The advent of cellular communication has stimulated the development of new mobile phones for 20-30 years ahead. Already 5 years ago there were a lot of brands and models of phones. Today, there is a tendency towards a decrease in manufacturers and the formation of a competitive market, but between two manufacturers.
Mobile operating systems
With the advent of smartphones - phones with an operating system - the development of the mobile market was a foregone conclusion. Flagships must have appeared, which will more and more win back their share, gradually ousting other manufacturers. As a result, there are now two of them - Apple with iOS and Google with Android. The difference is that Apple makes its own phones, while Google only makes Android available to other manufacturers. The most popular of them are Samsung and HTC, although Sony is also gaining popularity lately.
Modern corporations are following the path of increasing resources and reducing the size of vehicles. Such a trend was created by Apple with its iPhone, when they managed to pack many modern functions and schemes into such a small phone.
But each manufacturer develops in its own way. And people, when choosing a phone, no longer look at the functionality, but at the operating system. The general parameters that a modern device must meet are the same everywhere. The difference between iOS and Android is huge, and it's price to start.
Difference between Android and iOS
The device on Android can be bought for 5 thousand rubles, but the minimum cost of the iPhone is 16-17 thousand, the difference is obvious. iOS is distinguished by a convenient user interface and minimal owner intervention in the work. Everything is intuitively simple, which is what made Apple such a popular manufacturer. Android, on the other hand, gives the owner a certain amount of customization freedom and an open file system, allowing the phone to sync with a computer and other devices without additional software.
But all this is offset by the convenience of iTunes - a program for computers and work with devices for Apple technology and the iCloud function, which allows you to combine all data between your Apple tablet, music player, computer and phone.
It is difficult to imagine what the manufacturers will present to consumers further, but they both have excellent chances to continue development and compete with each other. The popularity of the third operating system Windows Phone and phones based on it is gradually growing. Perhaps in the future, this is the third participant in the race in the mobile world.
It is worth trying both techniques in use, so you will have to draw a conclusion yourself. The choice is too ambiguous, and the number of iOS and Android supporters is huge around the world. Today, about 80% of people's phones are smartphones.
